We had a running jokes with the kids when they were young with the famous Han and Boba in the Bar and the Sarlacc Pit with Lando. <br />When my oldest was in pre-school they made drawings that were turned into plates. Now remember this is pre school, all the plates came back with flowers and hearts mine came back with this descending circle in a dark brown with smaller tan lines coming out from the line. I looked at it and then it dawn on me as my son said it was the Sarlacc Pit. I smiled every time we used it and it was always propped up in back of the other dishes.<br />No gift was more loved. <br /><br />cheers, parsnipangryparsniphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236094827257446781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-88032391005031215412016-10-29T08:25:09.896-04:002016-10-29T08:25:09.896-04:00This looks like such a great book!

This seems to take him at face-value, and drop him into an adventure. While that can be revelatory, it doesn't seem like that happened in this case. I doubt we'll get a better look in the movie. Maybe it's me, but I feel like the newer movies spend enough time on character compared to situation. Oh, well. I still enjoy the bread and circus... <br />Great review! <br />V ;) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18159799725109784001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-29679687074994848752016-10-28T08:09:24.983-04:002016-10-28T08:09:24.983-04:00As much as I love Star Wars (I stood in line to se...As much as I love Star Wars (I stood in line to see all three original movies when they first came out) I've never read any of the Star Wars books.
